    Yeah, that's what kept me from doing it. I think the benefit is the stronger fan and lack of a heating element. I imagine though, if you did have a conventional dehydrator, you could just take the trays out of that and strap them to a $10 box fan for making jerky and use the dehydrator the...

    Scenes from movies you didn't like that stuck with you

    The edited for TBS version of that movie is full of hilariously bad dubs. My personal favorite was McLane yelling "Oh darn, oh shooooooooot" as he ejected from the fighter plane.

    I want to say that there were $.39 hamburgers and $.49 cheeseburgers when I was a starving college student in the '90s. It was a banner day when I could go to McD's with $5 and binge my way through 10 cheeseburgers. I think pizza was actually more expensive back then. I definitely could have...

    So I bought a Syma X5 because it was cheap and I just wanted to play around with it a bit and I saw it recommended a couple places as a good starter. I'm still quite poor at flying it but I can keep it from crashing for several minutes in my living room now so that's progress. The only one I...

    Don't own a dehydrator sorry. I've always wanted to try the Alton Brown method with a box fan but have never done it.

    Smartphones

    After the S8 I won't be going Samsung again for the foreseeable future. It's a perfectly fine phone, but all of Samsung's crapware annoys me to an irrational level and I can't believe the Note 9 still has the Bixby button. Even though the button is disabled on my phone it still pops up from...

    Better Call Saul

    I think more than feeling sad, Jimmy was blaming himself for Chuck's suicide. Finding out what Howard did took that weight off of him.

    That is awesome man, thanks for taking the time to do that. I do think you would have to drop down over the tanks. You can see them just fine from that altitude but I think you would need to be quite a bit closer to tell how much water was in them. I thought the second flight would probably...

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    I don't think Hyde was traded because he's bad. He's a big bruising back that can run for tough yards up the middle. He just wasn't well suited to Shanahan's offense where he wants his backs smaller and faster and better at catching the ball. In a lot of offenses Hyde could be very successful...

    In this case it could go outside of the controller range? That is exactly what I would like to do. I will have to look into this more. Also, can you fly at night? And is there a way for the drone to take a waypoint? We were out until 4 in the morning last week trying to find a fire in...

    I have a total newbie question on this. I recently read that the DJI Mavic Pro 2 is about to come out with a 5 mile range. I'm under the impression that you are not allowed to fly these things out of your own visual range. Is this true? Is it enforced? Do people follow this rule? The...

    Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide to Earth - Coming April 15th

    If you guys like Sturgill, you should check out some of his compatriots in the "not on the radio" country scene. Jason Isbell - This guy is my favorite. Margo Price - and somewhat more mainstream but still really good, Chris Stapleton. Seems more like blues than country to me but he...

    I'm not sure if that's what you're saying, but IMO people who say that a working dog can't also be a pet don't know what they're talking about. I have a neighbor that won't let anyone pet their working dogs because he thinks that it will spoil them but the big border collie in the above picture...

    I like powerade zero too but for some reason the 8-packs only come in 3 flavors and none of them is lemon-lime. You can buy individual bottles in lots of flavors but the 8-packs only come in red, blue, and purple.

    Seriously? I mean I know none of the show or the movie actually took place in Fargo, but Kansas City is 3 large states away. How can they still call it Fargo? Fucking hollywood people think the midwest is all the same.

    I loved that scene but in my mind this and "Scent of a Woman" (another great movie) mark the point where Pacino kind of jumped the shark and just started snarling all his lines.

    Unless it's several inches thick, even if it doesn't split while it's drying, it's going to break in half the first time you drop it. People make end-grain cutting boards, but they do it by gluing a bunch of pieces together. A round piece of a log like that is just to be super fragile once it...

    Everything from thermoworks is worth the money IMO. I have 4 of their thermometers including the smoke and they are rock solid. Also when I broke the battery cover on my 5 year old thermapen I ordered a new one and the order form asked me why I was buying it. I said it was because my old one...

    I'm surprised to see people ranking the 49ers above the Rams. I do think Garoppolo is probably better than Goff, but in any other part of the team it seems like the Rams have the edge. Or are people just thinking that the Rams crazy offseason spending spree is going to backfire on them? It...

    Are we fucked as a species?

    Jobs have been going away because of technology since the industrial revolution and every technological revolution has made humans more prosperous and healthy. In 1840, farmers made up 69% of the US workforce. Today it's under 2% and yet we make more food now than we did then by orders of...

    Who is America starring Sacha Baron Cohen

    The Georgia guy was a state senator right? Not a US senator? In rural areas you need like 300 votes to be a state senator, especially in a year without other major candidates on the ballot, and people usually don't even know who they are voting for in the state races and just vote their party...

    Same here. It will not pay for itself 90% of the time. Personally I'm not a fan of worrying about resale value on your house unless you're going to sell it in the next couple years. It's the building you live in. You should make it the way you want it, not the way some self proclaimed real...

    Deadwood

    I wonder if it's going to pick up where it left off or be a "10 years later" type deal. It seems like the latter would be easier to pull off since obviously everyone is 10 years older and Cy is dead. On the other hand, I'm not sure what's going to be "resolved" in a down the line episode. The...

    No, definitely not. I felt like they sort of ran out of ideas for a while, but it was never a bad show. It's also been 10 years since I watched so who knows if I would even agree with myself now.
